Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional dialogue interfaces lack character and naturalness, are transactional, and unable to engage in nuanced, dynamic interactions, process multiple statements concurrently, or repair miscommunications, with limited user personalization.

Innovation Solution

A context-based social agent interaction system that utilizes an interaction manager software to analyze past interactions, predict future responses, and select appropriate expressions based on the interaction's context, including non-verbal cues and machine learning models to enhance engagement and personalization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single synthesized persona is used in conventional dialogue interfaces, then the system structure is simple, but the character and naturalness of interaction deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenaturalness of interactionVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic persona projection by continuously adjusting the social agent's responses based on real-time interaction context, user feedback, and evolving conversation state. This allows the agent to adapt its persona and communication style dynamically rather than using a fixed synthesized persona, thereby improving naturalness while managing complexity through contextual adaptation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including tone, style, content focus, and response timing based on interaction context. By adjusting these parameters dynamically rather than using static synthesized responses, the system achieves more natural interactions while the parameter adjustment is driven by contextual analysis rather than complex reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional transactional dialogue interfaces are used, then the interaction model is simple, but the ability to process multiple statements concurrently and repair miscommunications deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to process multiple statements concurrentlyVSAvoidinteraction model
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the interaction context, including identification of multiple statements, detection of potential miscommunications, and preparation of appropriate responses before the user completes their input. This allows the system to process multiple statements concurrently and anticipate issues before they arise, improving adaptability while the preliminary action is performed through contextual analysis rather than complex real-time computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements multi-level feedback mechanisms that monitor interaction quality, detect miscommunications, and adjust responses accordingly. The system provides feedback about understanding accuracy, seeks clarification when needed, and adapts its response strategy based on interaction outcomes. This feedback-driven approach enables concurrent processing of multiple statements and repair of miscommunications through iterative refinement rather than complex parallel processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If limited predefined keywords are stored in conventional social agents, then the memory requirement is low, but the user personalization capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser personalization capabilityVSAvoidmemory requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically learning, storing, and utilizing user preferences, interaction patterns, and contextual information without requiring explicit programming of personalized responses. The agent serves itself by maintaining an evolving model of the user and automatically adapting its behavior, thereby achieving high user personalization capability while the memory is dynamically managed through selective storage and retrieval of relevant information rather than storing all possible personalized responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system for performing context-based management of social agent interactions includes processing hardware and a memory storing a software code. The processing hardware executes the software code to detect the presence of an interaction partner, identify a present state of an interaction with the interaction partner, and to determine, based on the present state, a first score for each of multiple interactive expressions for use in initiating or continuing the interaction. The processing hardware further executes the software code to predict a state change of the interaction based on each of the interactive expressions to provide multiple predicted state changes corresponding respectively to the multiple interactive expressions, to determine, using the predicted state changes, a second score for each of the interactive expressions, and to select, using the first scores and the second scores, at least one of the interactive expressions to initiate or continue the interaction.
